Meanwhile, the crowd exterior the T-Mobile Mane Stage, ready for Journey to return on, was alerted by large “EMERGENCY EVACUATION” indicators.

At that time, staff instructed every attendee to proceed to the nearest exit. Some have been positioned onto shuttles, while others walked off the premises and have been told they needed to go away for the night.

About half-hour later, a new update was despatched out: “Please continue to shelter in place. Stand by for the next update.”
